Missing Oxford man found by Border Patrol

OXFORD — A missing man from Oxford who hadn't been seen in more than 24 hours was found Sunday by U.S. Border Patrol agents in northern Vermont.

An hour after Oxford police posted on their Facebook page Sunday night that Barry Shutter, 68, was found, a dispatcher confirmed that he had been located and was OK.

Police earlier on Sunday had issued a plea asking anyone with information about the whereabouts of Mr. Shutter to call them.

He was last seen about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, when he was scheduled to head to Thetford, Vt., to meet with family, according to police. Family expected him to arrive in Vermont within three hours but he never reached his destination.

Mr. Shutter was alone and driving his blue 2000 Ford Ranger pickup. It was unclear why he had driven past his destination. The dispatcher said he was not injured.
